Ocean - Miami Beach

Moreover, the walls and doors lacked soundproofing, and we could hear every little noise and conversation in the hallway, which made us wonder if we were being heard as well. It was a bit unsettling.

The food was absolutely fantastic! My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our meals and drinks. I had the chicken cutlets paired with yellow rice and beans, while my wife chose a taco salad and a couple of cocktails. The staff was excellent, and our room was clean, with well-kept sheets and towels. Both the room service and customer service were praiseworthy. Additionally, the beach is conveniently located just across the street. Overall, this hotel is a wonderful gem on Ocean Drive that won't strain your wallet.

This is an amazing place for first-time visitors! I'm from Miami, but my wife isn't, and we both loved the vibrant atmosphere, live music, and delicious seafood. The cocktails were fantastic, and Ramazan provided excellent service.

Pros friendly staff location adjacent from the beach clean rooms they offer beach chairs Cons music doesn't stop until about 3 4 AM limited towels some items in bathroom were broken sink drainage issues $100 damage fee hold for each person in the room I stayed at this hotel during my vacation in Miami. I thoroughly enjoyed myself despite the cons . During my stay, I did see that the hotel is undergoing renovations which is good. This hotel has a lot of potential and again the staff was very friendly, I felt at home.

Let me start by saying this hotel is in a great location. Right in the heart of all the action of South Beach. Everything is within walking distance or you can rent a bicycle. The property though seems to be in a state of renovation and transition. It has great potential but the property and rooms are quirky. During our stay, elevators were not working. We were assigned a room facing the beach on the 5th floor, north side of the building but we had to carry everything up the stairs. This adds another hurdle, we had to walk out back to the alley, very dark and seedy at night, wall to the fire stairs hallway and walk up the fire stairs to the room. The room had no room number designation on it and opened right into the room. This is clearly meant to be a back emergency door. If you forget to lock the handle, anyone from the alley can access the room. And let me tell you, if anything 'bad ' happens nobody will know. No cameras and no access to the office. Just stairs towards the alley. The room had nice laminate floors, bed and linens were nice, small fridge, wardrobe closet. The front room had no furniture in it. Just windows that opened towards the beach and a door that is the front door opening up to only the door to the room next door and the elevator. The bathroom was nice BUT there was a glass paned door right in front of the shower and toilet that exits to a rear terrace that exits to another set of fire stairs. We didn 't eat at the property and the only parking was at a nearby public garage at $20 a day. The one shining star during our stay was the night desk clerk, Alfred, who checked us in. He helped us carry our stuff up the stairs, kept apologizing for the elevator not working and offered us champagne for our trouble. He also covered the windows of the door in the bathroom so we could have some privacy and probably told maintenance because the next day they frosted the glass. The other employees we dealt with seemed disinterested and even bothered by our asking questions or for help when the fire door was closed to gain access to the stairs to the room. And it helps that I speak Spanish so I could understand what was being said when we did ask for help. I probably would not stay here again in the future but the location and price would be enough to suggest others to try it but not be surprised by anything. I do hope this was just an anomaly and the norm. The property does have potential.
